Bind "androidx.health:health-services-client"

Although it's RC, it says 'Production Ready', and it looks like it's in continual development and for some reason never gets to release... so I assume it's stable enough for binding?

The problem we have is that Samsung are cripling foreground services and access to location and health data on Wear OS without consuming via this library. I have a fitness app in the Play Store for Wear OS written in net8-android and with out this it's slowly being crippled, which makes dotnet dev for WearOS unviable.

Thanks for the feedback.

😄 "production ready" is quite elastic term. Previews are stable enough for bindings. It is not about stability, but resources (where I live day is 24 hrs too)

I get you, but cannot promise anything.

Which app if I may know? I work on such app myself as a side project and when I find some time and that is - rarely.

Thanks, @moljac

Yes, this is a part time project for me too.

What is your app, is it written in dotnet? is it in the store? Do you have a link? I'm also interested 😉

Thanks

Thanks, @moljac

You are welcome.

Cool I will check it.

What is your app, is it written in dotnet?

Currently it is several appsand yes in .NET (Xamarin.Forms and now rewriting in MAUI). I was simply solving some problems when I was coaching my daughters. I was skiing coach.

One of the apps was similar your app. Basic activity tracker, but I have some morphologic/anthropometric (not only) calculations too (BMI, Ponderal index,... Somatotype).

Another app was for Somatotype and even ML.net. I did research paper on that.

Then one is of periodization (planing and programming) app. Actually data (competitions) in CSV + algorithm as console app.

I dream to merge those apps into one and publish it.

is it in the store?

No. I wish.

Do you have a link? I'm also interested 😉

It is in private repo on gitlab. Here is smaller part public, but it is mess...

Even readme is centuries old. I think some apps might be there. Not sure anymore. Now I am sad/angry. I must clean that up.

Thanks

Oh nice, you do have a lot going on! I'm sure there's still plenty of spare time for bindings though, just cut back on some sleep 😉

This is actually going to become pretty big. Many health and study research programs are out there evaluating these projects right now.

This particular package is pure kotlin with many generics which has made it tough to bind.

@Redth This was package I've been talking about

Hey @moljac - The binding does generate, but the connect client uses a bunch of kotlin generics which only translate to Java.Lang.Object on the .NET side. This was causing all sorts of issues in my binding and seems to be an issue with yours as well.

True.

This was causing all sorts of issues in my binding and seems to be an issue with yours as well.

What kind of issues?

Not sure if I will have resources (time) to do manual interventions. And yes this is the drawback of our tooling.

What kind of issues?

I can't get it to cast to equivalent type, so I can work with the actual data. I can get more concrete examples.

You don't need to quote this for my benefit. I've been around the Xamarin community long enough to know the underfunding going on. My point about this is that if the binding doesn't provide the necessary functionality, you'll be dealing with more support issues downstream.

@moljac Try doing a ReadRecords off a IHealthConnectClient. I can't find an implementation of IContinuation for kotlin in the stdlib. How do you create a read request as the class is marked abstract?

I got my binding a little farther along with "new ReadRecordsRequest(IKClass, filter, null, true, 2000, "")" but there doesn't seem to be a way get IKClass. The implementation is large and likely not something we're suppose to implement anyhow.

I appreciate that timing isn't on your side, but this binding doesn't appear to actually be in a usable state.

This is why binding previews is no fun. Google moves types in released artifacts and that causes troubles. This is worse.

Again I am not SDK API expert.

Doesn't inheriting/extending/subclassing/specializing abstract class, implementing abstract stuff and adding behavior work?

We're did this end up? Is there a binding that can be released soon?
